YOU MAD? BAKE CAKE! From the Prolific Nigerian Writer Joy Isi Bewaji

Be brave.  Do not be scared.  Write what terrifies you. Take the risk and flow against the tide. Remember the airplane must lift against the wind before it stabilizes on the bare chest of the sky. Joy Isi Bewaji is a unique writer. She is vocal, tough and courageous. She’s not afraid to take on big projects. She calls herself the “bad ass” but her fans call her the Queen.  Her new book,  YOU MAD? BAKE CAKE  is refreshing!  When a woman’s vagina is dragged into an argument, it is the easiest way to silence her. Women hide behind the shame that comes from slutty slurs.

It thrives because the results are instant – the woman withers. The job is done. Once again, a woman has been put in her place. Society claps at the job well done. If you look in the crowd, you will see women cheering on, blending in with misogyny. A...
